So im thinking about using an LCD TV as a computer monitor.  I think its a win/ win, since it can double as a TV.  I have found a few pretty cheap ones, but this deal seem really good.  What do you all think??

See link below:

Make? If it's not reputable, then no. It's probably bag. And I wouldn't trust that site with no picture and further details.

It's alright.  The contrast ratio is kind of shitty along with the other things like that.  You get what you pay for.  I'd get a better one, but, if it's what you want, then whatever.

I play alot of games like quake.  Do you think it would look decent... im guessing you would have to sit sorta far back from the screen.

No, for a computer screen the resolution it produces is 1366 x 768. my 17" LCD provides a better resolution.

If you want to use it for computer gaming, it'll be a let down.

No, a 1000:1 contrast ratio for an LCD TV is perfectly acceptable.

Thanks for all the advise guys.  If anyone finds a decent sized LCD at a decent price, please let me know.

Just curious, has anyone ever used a 32" LCD as your primary computer monitor?
